除此之外,还有好奇法则。当你感觉不到饥饿和干渴时,你的身体就停止运转了;如果你失去了好奇心,那你的思想就不再工作了。这是父亲传授给我的。他是一位博物学家。他能看到树皮下的甲虫,并把它毫发无伤地捉下来,放在放大镜下让我们看。他尝过33种不同毛虫的味道。有一次,在父亲的示范与鼓励下,妹妹吃了一只蚂蚁。假如你对它们的味道感到好奇,我会告诉你,毛虫的味道就像它们所吃的树叶,而蚂蚁的味道像柠檬。我个人最近并未品尝任何昆虫的标本,但我仍欣喜于自己无限的好奇心,它促使我博览群书、乐于与人交往和四处旅行。我希望永远拥有好奇心。没有它,就仿佛放下了窗帘,让我无法欣赏到窗外的美景。
Finally, there is the rule of happiness. Happiness is a habit. I was taught to cultivate it. A big stomach-ache, or a big heart-ache, can interrupt happiness, but neither can destroy it unless I permit. My mother simply wouldnt have unhappy faces moping about the place. If it was stomach-ache, she does it. If it was heart-ache, she administered love and understanding and lots of interesting things to do, and soon the sun came out again. Even the heartbreaks that cant really be mended, even those seem to yield to the habit of finding happiness in doing things, in love and in the memory of love. I hope I never lose that habit either. It would be like putting out the light.
